15 days in Slovenian Istria Itinerary

Considered one of the prettiest cities on the country's coast, Piran owes much of its development to salt.

Attractions like Tartini Square and St. George's Church make great kid-friendly stops. There's still lots to do: make a trip to Walls of Piran, discover the deep blue sea with a scuba or snorkeling tour, examine the collection at Sergej Mašera Maritime Museum, and get a new perspective on nature at Magical World of Shells Museum.
